Abstract: An approach is provided for collecting and processing biometric information associated with a user of a body-mounted device to determine a status of the user. The approach involves causing biometric information to be collected by way of a body-mounted device. The approach further involves causing the biometric information to be communicated to a network management system. The approach additionally involves causing one or more of the network management system and the body-mounted device to process the biometric information to determine a status of the user of the body-mounted device, the status including one or more vital signs and an emotional state of the user based on the biometric information. The approach also involves causing the status to be displayed by the body-mounted device.

Abstract: An approach is provided for determining one or more behavioral states of a vehicle operator and causing one or more alerts and/or one or more management options based on the determined one or more behavioral states. The approach involves causing physiological information associated with a vehicle operator to be collected by one or more sensors. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, the physiological information to be communicated to a device that comprises at least one of the one or more sensors or is remote from at least one of the one or more sensors. The approach further involves processing the physiological information to determine a behavioral state associated with the vehicle operator. The approach additionally involves causing, at least in part, one or more alerts to be communicated to a device associated with the vehicle operator based, at least in part, on the determined behavioral state.
